Pelosi and her federal Run Healthcare

Speaker Pelosi’s Government-Run Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium
Posted by GOP Leader Press Office on November 5th, 2009


Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life - not end it.

Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page government takeover of health care does just that. On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan. The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions.
What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan. It’s right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.” The premium will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account - and these federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services.

Section 213 describes the process in which the Health Benefits Commissioner is to assess the monthly premiums that will be used to pay for elective abortions under the government-run plan. The Commissioner must charge at a minimum $1 per enrollee per month.

A majority of Americans believe that health care plans should not be mandated to provide elective abortion coverage, and a majority of Americans do not believe government health care plans should include abortion coverage. Currently, federal appropriations bills include language known as the Hyde Amendment that prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for elective abortions under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, while another provision, known as the Smith Amendment, prohibits federal funding of abortion under the federal employees’ health benefits plan.
Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page health care monstrosity is an affront to the American people and drastically moves away from current policy. The American people deserve more from their government than being forced to pay for abortion.

House Republicans are offering a common-sense, responsible solution that would reduce health care costs and expand access while protecting the dignity of all human life. The Republican plan, available at HealthCare.GOP.gov, would codify the Hyde Amendment and prohibit all authorized and appropriated federal funds from being used to pay for abortion. And under the Republican plan, any health plan that includes abortion coverage may not receive federal funds.

I am not defending Hassan. In fact look at another forum see here http://truthinjustice.ning.com/xn/detail/2385776:Comment:37842

What I was pointing out that being a member of the audience of an open meeting of an academic panel means nothing. If John was studying Washington DC, he could have easily been part of the audience. While I was a graduate student I attended many such type meetings. In fact, right after Carter was elected, I was at a meeting in which Brzezinski explained the foreign policy of the future Carter administration and I was able to question Brzezinski. Yet my influence in national politics equaled exactly zero. People in the audience of such meeting have no influence at all.

By the way, radio news has frequently reports about the mosque in Virginia

Elaine now you are just digging the hole deeper. Cater had no foreign policy, as a student you knew more then Carter did. Know if it was about peanut farming he would have it over you, but anything else NOT

[Elaine Friedland]

Frank,

Prof. Brzezinski, was Carter's National Security Adviser.,He was until appointed to that post a Professor of Political Science at Columbia University and now teaches at John Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Affairs.

[Frank]

Tell me what does Brezinski's teaching have to do with Carter's non policy? I have said this before and will say it again as it bears repeating, Jimmy Carter as been put in the "dust bin of history" Oh he tries to climb out with remarks like he made last Dec. that Hamas was not a terror group and the other stupid things he said.
OH this has nothing to do with Pelosicare

Elaine lets get back to the topic hear and that is Pelosi and her healthcare. If the Senate votes it as writen then people who do not buy ins. will be fined and or spen 5 years in the fedarl lock up. Plus the income tax will be going up to pay for it. What say you?
